SummarySummary ICS Forms are another example of

the governments love for paper work

Many on the original lists have little or no relevance to us

The forms are standardized and can be extremely useful in the fast paced confusion of a major incident

Those in positions of authority are the critical initiators, keepers, and users of the forms.
